The Confidence To Sell

The Confidence To Sell event took place on the 19th of April hosted at the Natwest Entrepreneur Accelerator in London and sponsored by Sage.

The event was designed for women professionals and those in business to develop the confidence to sell themselves and themselves and their products whole-heartedly.

Jenny Garrett hosted the excellent panel of experts including Valerie Malone, Ronke Lawal and Chris Kettle. Valerie is Chief Commercial Officer on the Canadian Market, ATOS. Ronke is the founder of Ariatu PR and lastly, Chris is NatWest’s Entrepreneurial Development Manager in London. They shared times that their confidence was knocked and how they got back up from it and top tips on selling yourself.

Jenny closed the event with 3 top tips:

It’s not bragging if its based on fact.

Accomplishments don’t speak for themselves, you have to share them.

Selling your self is muscle that you must develop over time, keep practicing.

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” – Marie Curie.
